If you’ve been frustrated and pissed with yourself about not reaching your goals and you’re wasting time uncertain about your next move and what you should be doing, then pay attention, this episode is for you.
Alex Hormozi has been going viral with incredibly valuable content about turning $1000 to $100 million, how to grow a massive following and of course how to grow and scale your business bigger than you thought was possible with his insane work ethic.
In today’s episode, we talk about Alex’s prescription for traits and behaviors that lead to success and things in life you actually want, and why drugs, porn, and all of your bad habits combined are bullsh*t excuses.
Hormozi has a way of taking the complicated ideas that crowd and pollute the personal growth space, stripping away the fluff and B.S. and making these ideas super easy to do and personalize. This conversation is about finding what is effective and what works.
Identify your destructive habits and turn them into success-producing behaviors that are repetitive and ultimately become the expert you can follow and listen to.
“Experts are not more disciplined than you, they’ve just found more ways to win.” -Alex Hormozi
A few key Hormozi insights that will change your life today:
Your 3 hour morning routine may be killing your chances for success
Stack pennines on the evidence that grows your belief and chances to win
Rewarding the right behaviors may be more effective than punishing the bad ones
- Unlock the Hormozi super power of defining terms and operationalizing them
-The gap between knowing business secrets and success is in the number of repetitions
- 3 steps every beginner needs to get their business started
- 4 things you’ll need to know to make your first dollar
By the end of this episode, anyone serious about winning and achieving their biggest dreams should understand that the only thing that absolutely matters is if you are doing the things that yield the results you are after or not.

ALEX HORMOZI QUOTES:
“If you can control every one of the variables, externally to an organism, you can control it’s behavior.”
“Living for the future version of yourself and letting that person be your ultimate judge.”
“No one is afraid of failing. People are afraid of other people’s judgment about their failure.”
“You can drink and do drugs and watch porn, if you still do the sh*t, that’s all that matters.”
“I try to have as few rules as possible to give myself as much latitude to live my life.”
“Use emotions to fuel the behaviors that you want.”
“There’s a stimulus and there’s a response. What happens in the box inside your head does not matter. If you respond, you have learned, and if you continue to see the same stimulus and you don’t respond the way you want to, you have not learned.”
“Experts are not more disciplined than you, they’ve just found more ways to win.”
“Values are skills because you can train them.”
“Just because it's harder to measure doesn’t make it less important.”
“I don’t think any business I’ve had has had a business plan, it’s just what are we going to sell and how are we going to get customers.”
“The big fallacy is that the first is going to be the forever business, which it won’t. Many entrepreneurs have many businesses over the course of their career, and in each business you learn elements that help you build a bigger and better business next time.”
“Most people have to keep getting slapped until they realize that nothing is going to be easy and they have to keep going through the period of not knowing what they are doing, that is in essence what entrepreneurship feels like.”
“The opportunity is in the uncertainty.”

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!
LOL!!
@@JAChadburn1
but if you did... Winky face XD hahaha this was an awesome interview!
hahaha! I have watched it through 3 times now. I watch at 2 times speed.@@JAChadburn1
This video ran super super deep beyond everything and I'm not even halfway through the video. I subscribed.
That’s when you know you made it big is when you have clones online! I’m actually offended that I’m not big time enough to have one myself lol
"You can't give yourself more willpower...But you CAN make the GOOD decisions more convenient...and the BAD ones less convenient." That's a good one.
They should make it harder to buy smokes and alcohol. Would slow ppl down somewhat 😂
I can speak from some experience on this lol.😅
I had been trying to get clean for while with medium success. Then the cops in my city finally got rid of drug dealers close to where I live for good and so I had to go some distance to get drugs. Plus there were other inconveniences in going farther like occasionally getting cheated or robbed...
That's when I was able to finally quit my addiction for good. Now I'm a recovering sober drug addict for some 8 years.
It's a rip off of Atomic Habits
@@scottk1525A lot of stuff is rips from other stuff. Making the message concise, understandable, and available to a wide audience is important. And it’s important that the person saying it actually lives it and has the evidence of the outcomes to prove it.
I just started reading Atomic Habits yesterday, so I’ll get to that point soon.
@@Thisisausername556 I would argue that the more "concise" a message is, the less compelling and informative it becomes. People get a momentary buzz from their little tweets, tag lines, and catch phrases, but hearing a snappy line on a podcast isn't going to create any meaningful changes in one's life.
Reading a book on the subject, on the other hand, is significantly more likely to inspire lasting change. That's why people like this that rip the ides of others should at the very least give credit, and point people in the direction of the source.
Life changing book by the way. Easily the most important book I've ever read for improving... anything.
All you need is pure intention and a bit of practice. The more you focus on what you want to manifest, the more likely it is to happen. Keep your mind open and be willing to receive whatever it is you’ve been dreaming of and it’s possible if you believe in yourself!! Thanks for the words..
@@TiagoAlves-yv7bb You don't need to be shocked because I'm also a huge beneficiary of expert Mrs Shanita
Here in Canada Expert Mrs Shanita Creswell carries out both orientation and mentorship
I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies and decided to try her out... I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
I remember friends calling me crazy when I started but i now shut them up with my four Figure weekly returned
There is really no country restriction in her company, I'm investing with her from Australia.
Awesome intrview! I loved this talk. Here's what resonated with me:
1. The number one problem is that no one takes action.
2. Building an identity around hard work is something to strive for, instead of building an identity around beauty or intelligence.
3. Being able to delay gratification.
4. Map out what you want to do.
5. Consistency is key, and you need evidence of your consistency.
6. What can I do to make this day worse?
7. If you act positive and think negative, you can still succeed, but if you think positive and act negative, you won't move forward.
8. Tom has rules in his life; for example, you don't drink two times a week.
9. Alex doesn't have rules; he's only interested in what works. He says that since morning routines are so different for every person, this means that they don't really have that much of an impact. If you do the things that are important for your business, you can also drink, watch adult content, eat sweets, and so on. You need to focus on the formula that will move your business forward and decide how you'd like to live your life. But the way you live your life is not that important to your business. The only thing important to your business is whether you work or not.
10. If you don't have patience, you need to figure out what to do in the meantime.
11. Sadness is the perceived lack of options, which is an ignorance problem and can be fixed with more knowledge.
12. Anxiety is having too many options and not knowing which one to choose, which means that you need priorities and need to make decisions.
13. Are you going to play the victim, or are you going to play the game?
14. Alex thinks that values are skills that can be trained. Tom does not share the same opinion; he thinks that emotions are an echo of a person's beliefs and values.
15. How Alex knows when the work is done: He asks a person to edit a 30-second clip for 30 minutes, after that asks the person what they would do if they had 2 hours, after that 2 weeks, and once there isn't anything more that can be done, then the work is finished.
16. The rate at which you decide what the next most meaningful step for your business or life is a sign of intelligence.
17. Being predictable in a good way and delivering when you promised that you're going to deliver will be liked by everyone.

THANK YOU! 🙏🏾🫡
Well done! And, thank you. 🙏
Thanks fam ❤
real MVP
Thank you.
“You solve sadness through knowledge, you solve anxiety by actions.” Incredible.
Being fat, high as a kite and naive has cost me millions of dollars these past 2 decades. I was the pioneer of the discount plus size industry, and I’ve been in affiliate marketing since the infomercial days. I worked for Dean Graziosi as well. I should have been a multi millionaire by now, but I didn’t have the mental clarity and since I was fat, I stuck with telemarketing instead of being in the spotlight on social media. Now I’m down 129 pounds & I have 40 more to go PLUS I’m sober. Tom, I will be on your show in the next three years. I’m confident of that and LISA’s show too! I love what the two of you are doing to bring us such a great content.
Awesome! Congrats!
you sound deluded lol
@@Kevin-kj5th Thank you so much!
Life is about perspective, Lizzo gets high as a kite and is "fat" but she made it. Just giving another viewpoint...
@@hawed19 yes, it depends on the industry that you’re in. I’m in the business of coaching women to make 6 to 7 figures online as well as speaking on stage. Therefore, I don’t want to be huffing and puffing, sweating my ass off underneath the stage lights. Plus, I need to have the mental clarity and energy to coach my clients, as well as scale my own company. Lizzo is in the business of entertainment and motivating plus size women. I was involved in the plus size industry for over two decades, and I made a ton of money smoking blunts all day and stuffing my face. So it definitely depends on the industry.
This is 3 SOLID HOURS of smack-you-in-the-face lessons. Alex Hormozi's own "meditations".
Can't say "thank you" enough to both of you!!! You are today's prophets and role models.
I'm going to replay this podcast dozens of times. This is pure gold, and both perspectives of Tom and Alex just compare and contrast beautifully!
was thinking this every second as i watch it hahahah. this one deserves
Yo for real, DREAM TEAM
Pure diamonds.. purer than the most valuable form of matter on earth, whatever that is today and will be 100 years from today.
I'll listen to it when I take a SHIT
Love to hear it!
What was your biggest take away?
Best,
Impact Theory Community Manager
I like how Alex makes things approachable and actionable but I like that Tom goes to the abstract and reasons behind actions because that’s what makes us human and not robots
That’s also what makes humans more fallible and computers more effective. Trust me humans are not this complicating or “smart”dumb. Tim is the epitome of over complicating things
Sorry, as far as I know, you're not a human. Until proven otherwise, you're a robot.
Great message here!! There is something to be learned from listening to this conversation but I can't get past the black strip on his nose...that's all I focus on and the rest is blah,blah,blah...like how the school teacher sounds in the Snoopy cartoons...lol...no shade given here to either of you but my ADHD brain just kicked in amd hyper focused on the black strip on his nose!! I'm like the baby you pick up to talk to and the whole time you are cooing at me or talking to me, I am trying to yank your glasses off of your face or your earrings or necklace, with that being my whole focus😂😂😂
Listen to the podcast again without watching it. I don’t have 3 hours to sit and and watch something anyway so I listen while I do non mental tasks.
I love this question and all of the commenters here.
I would love to be more like Alex, just take an action-orientated approach and do not care about the why? Because really - it does not matter. It just seems to disagree with my personality, partly because I feel like if I understand the why, then I am on a strong foundation - if I don't know why something works - it seems a bit frustrating to me. Does anyone else feel like that?
I also feel one of the reasons people like to know why, is when they start to understand the brain or trauma, they stop being self-judgmental or having a lot of shame, they feel like they are not broken.
It all boils down to "FEAR"!! When we strip away the layers... you're left with FEAR!! Stand up to the fear. Positive affirmations allow us to speak it into existence!!
Alex's simplistic way of viewing things is so refreshing to me. I align with his mindset very much. I always thought I had to change more about myself to align more with others, like Tom, for instance. Not that one is right or wrong, but which (amongst other mindsets and views, not just these two) is right for me. Or, perhaps, it's just owning my own mindset. Thank you, gentlemen, for all that you do. This is the stimulating conversation and knowledge that people and the world need.
so true. Defining terms and breaking things down to first principles is so refreshing and actionable. In a world full of fluff and mantras, this gives so much clarity.
That's so interesting to hear your perspective, I'm more like Tom, I feel like if I understand the why I can predict what happens - I feel like I am on stable footing. That being said, I fall into Alex's category of inaction - and so need to find a balance between the two.

I needed this video. Tons of people have told me that I needed to have a jovial attitude and demeanor while doing the work needed to grow my business to see results; that working without having a happy personality all the time was the reason I wasn’t seeing the results i I wanted. I told everyone that I won’t always be happy but I can always choose to do the work despite how I felt and I was instructed that that wasn’t enough.
It’s good to know that I think similarly along the lines of Hormozi on this topic.
Perfect example of a Stoic and an Overthinker (dives deeper in their thoughts) having a conversation.
I can tell Tom has taken the advice of people watching his videos. This particular interview shows a different call and response interview than the traditional conversational style of interview.
It conveys a stronger element of showcasing the guest and their thoughts and experiences vs Tom's relentless desire for knowledge and growth. Good job man!
would love you to expand on this. have watched a lot of Impact Theory (and many many other podcasts besides), what was the specific feedback on the other videos? what do you mean by call and response? i think i understand what you mean by Tom’s relentless desire for knowledge and growth, but i’ve always felt him give ample space for the guests to explain themselves and he tends to ask interesting follow-up questions (at least from IT episodes i’ve seen). do say more, it’d be very helpful!
If you need to come on TH-cam to get control of your life, you probably need professional help already.
This guy being interviewed is a con man.
I‘m annoyed by his constant urge to do the talking, instead of letting the guest do the talking TBH!
Great observation. After you mentioned it, it was obvious to see a different and improved method of interviewing.
Not sure what you mean, he continues to interrupt people and and claims more ‚talk time’ than his guests, instead of holding his horses.
I’m so happy I found this video. It just changed my life. Tom for 30 years I’ve been stuck on a hamster shell of thoughts and feelings lost and going nowhere. And as soon as your guest opened his mouth I understood what I needed to do and shed. Thank you both! This was powerful.
This is a GOLD MINE of a podcast. This really helps you to look/think about things differently.
Thank you I.T. for bringing valuable context to several of my favorite quotes:
“To know and not do is to not know” &
“Every class is a language class”
Plans are important, but the routine Work is more important, staying motivated= the most important!
"Living for the future version of yourself and letting that person be your ultimate judge" So simple yet so powerful! I know alot of people including myself that have done things to get others approval.
I’ve learned that one of the most important aspects towards getting things done is momentum. At first you kind of just have to force yourself to do what you think is right. This is the hardest step. It hurts, it sucks, it’s boring, and it’s stressful at the beginning.
However once you start doing things right consistently and seeing some small wins you get a little bit of wind at your back that propels you forward. You’ve started to build towards something that will crumble if you stop. So you get an internal drive that pushes you to keep going, keep building and keep getting better because you know that once you stop all the work you already did will be for nothing. Then you get to a point where sitting around is actually far more emotionally taxing and stressful than it is to simply get the work done. That’s the momentum you need to achieve big things.
The most basic example is working out. You consistently hit the gym and build a lot of strength and endurance you never had. You clean up your diet and you look and feel better than you ever have. At this point a healthy active lifestyle becomes a part of who you are and despite the temporary pain of taxing g your body through strenuous exercise you’re now more at peace with yourself through healthy dietary choices and working out than relaxing and eating tasty junk food. The thought of sitting on your couch eating potato chips at this point literally upsets you and adds stress because you realize how destructive this behavior is to your body and how much work you need to do to heal from that.
The same principle applies to accomplishing things in work, business, and the quality of your relationships. Good healthy decisions literally become an addiction. Ultimately you end up really liking and respecting yourself. You know how they say respect is earned? Well that applies to self respect too.
But the beginning is the hardest. You have to force yourself to do it initially. You have to suffer a bit. But the rewards of a life well lived are immeasurable.
Very very well said
Absolutely epic convo between two of my all time favorite people. Total Bosses
This guy seems okay, speaking simple wisdom. Tom barfs up some sound bytes here and there...
Damn you roasted Tom in the kindest most efficient way possible…
"most advice is bullshit"
-guy giving advice 2023
This man is the first person I have ever heard speak of the idea of having undefined words. Please for the love of god, make a list of words that make you angry, sad, lonely or any negative emotion and please for your own sake, figure out why and change it. That is the cure to all the strange behaviours that can hold us back when we know we should do something differently.
It comes as no surprise as these are my two favorite people, this is the best podcast I have ever listened to. Thank you. I will listen to this multiple times!!
I’m finally coming back to myself after years old spending too early. Lately I been sleeping and taking care of myself more. Be true to yourself everyone. Everything will be okay.
When Tom speaks about his rules that’s another way of talking about his non-negotiable commitments to self. Those require a lot of self restraint, that’s built up over time (with experience), so to get there, easiest is to remove the things that detract from your best self.
Great conversation!
I literally listened to this whist running a half marathon! Absolutely brilliant, two awesome people and I was hooked, amazing learning for me, thankyou guys 🙏
"Operationalizing" a feeling that you don't know how to handle literally is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). One of the hardest things about overcoming self-destructive behavior is identifying the feelings and emotions that are leading to an unwanted behavioral response (drinking, gambling, compulsively eating). That is what CBT tries to help you to do, as well as to come up with an alternate response to that emotion, so that it can be put into practice the next time those thoughts or feelings come up.
This feels like therapy and my takeaway is that I need to do a better job of understanding and processing my emotions.
Dylan: Why does that man have black tape on his nose? Did he use to be a Cocaine addict?
Listening to some of Jordan Petersons talks or lectures feels like therapy too.
I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, especially given the present rollercoaster nature of the stock market, because 35% of my $270k portfolio consists of plunging stocks that were once respected, and I'm at a loss for what to do now.
To manage market risks responsibly, distribute investments over many asset classes such as bonds, real estate, and international equities, seek the advice of a professional.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
I am also thankful to be alive during this time. Thank you both!
I have seen multiple interviews of Alex, and the happiest i have seen him is when He or someone define terms.
Has anyone else taken a second to fathom that Alex and Tom spoke on this level of depth of thought for 3 HOURS? 🤯
and loving it.
This is exactly like a 4:45am cocaine conversation that I would have with my buddies LMAO
It all comes down to 'Focus on what you can control'
I love how Alex removes the emotional variable n can break down everything in life into logical truths.
That’s also the weakness of it (sometimes).
No one is going to comment the fact that the guy has a black tape in his nose with advertising on it? 😂🤣
I’m looking for an explanation - it’s like the 600 pound gorilla in the living room - could be an airway opener for the sinus - I had the idea - then I saw someone else invented it
It’s distracting! 😅
And why didn't the manufacturers of the nose device -- make the device in skin colors... peach and brown?
"I sit in bed for 45 minutes on my phone" - what makes Alex so great... so incredibly successful yet he is so human.
I've been in a mild funk of not spending my time at home well during the week for a couple months. I have the trait of working hard, MWF are 10-13 hour days; I love running the tightest ship at higher and higher levels of professionalism at my job. Anyways... the funk is around using my Tuesday's to build a business, and letting fear of what other's might say if I succeeded or failed cause me to not do it... as well as worries of again, the potential thoughts of other's I live with if I were to be different than them and actually get good at being up early.
I don't expect anyone to read that.. this video means so much to me.. that's the point. I beyond intend on executing things I've gleaned from this.. and I couldn't be more grateful to have found Alex and Tom and to have been listening to them for some time, off and on.
Absolutely incredible interview. I subscribed to Alex when he was at 80k on TH-cam. I knew he was the real deal and this was the best interview I’ve heard all year.
Hormozi is your top 3 guest of all time. Goggins, Hormozi & Sinek. Thank you and the team for the amazing videos.
Well you can say that after they have succeed in making this world better, peaceful, prosperous, ecofriendly, utopic etc.
@@ttii9 you’re a weird individual
Holy smokes it took me a few nights to get through this one but I can't thank you guys enough for doing this interview. My fascination and inspiration around developing an offer and telling others is through the roof. Grade A+ content right here. Well done bravo!
Same! I keep relistening to the beginning and finally made it to the end.
Don't tell others if they're people who give you validation, aka not customers. It took me way too long to learn this lesson, but telling someone else about what you're doing, and actually accomplishing it makes our brains give very similar satisfaction, so we end up never completing the thing because we already got the reward.
Sadness comes from a lack of options, which feels like hopelessness. Solve it with knowledge, gives you something to do, you do have an option.
Thank you.
The simple way Alex Hormozi speaks provides a clearer and more cohesive way to understand his message.
55 minutes into this & I am thinking 1. Alex has spent time understanding behavior analysis and found ways to apply it to himself & those around 2. Tom has iron clad rules he lives by. He has picked an identity and is true to himself. Both are action oriented.
Indeed. Sometimes the problem seems to be focusing on the "problems."
Framework around how to approach sadness and anxiety is genius.
Alex's outward persona without knowing anything about him pushes many away but if you listen closer you will hear that he speaks many truths.
I'm becoming a fan.
What about his persona pushes people away?
“Sadness is a lack of options. The way to break through from feelings is knowledge.”
“Anxiety comes from having too many options, but no priorities. You solve that by making decisions.”
Nice
Talk about reward and punishment!! I have lost count of how many commercials have been in this episode! The message is so good but it is completely and utterly interrupted by dozens of ads. I came to listen to this man speak because I found him on modern wisdom, and I must have listened for 3 hours with hardly an interruption and I was so freaking immersed!! Talk about flow state! Over here I'm not sure if I can even finish this there's so many ads.
Im listening this podcast for the second time, this really cracked my brain into action and im enjoying myself. Thank you both so much for this
Thank you for having him. I bet you 2 will knock it out of the park. ❤
22:03 - Man I was actually waiting for this. I remember listening in one of Alex's videos where he said that he doesn't want to have any clutches or rules that hold him down so that he doesn't depend on things for him to get work done. I remember thinking of Tom Bilyeu at that exact moment because Tom has a lot of rituals that he does to be optimal. I actually felt that Alex was talking about Tom at that moment haha.
It’s great to see two successful people have two very different approaches. Certainly proves that we need to be open to all different approaches and find what works for us
@@cristalallen8826 True, as long as they do the important work that makes them successful, the rest probably doesn't matter as much.
Alex is making the point that all the rituals are not the work but can be done or not. As long as the work is done the rituals are just side things they could actually be limiting the work done (could be doing more work instead of the rituals). Tom and many others (Huberman, lex, etc) do the rituals as part of their health/well-being, which then helps them 'feel' better or ready for work. I think they could actually separate the rituals(for health) from work when talking about their routines but it is so much the talk/content relative to their online business brand. Alex still gets his exercise in, but he speaks much less about that as he is really focused on business how-to/operationalizing as his content/speak.
It's not rules, but POLICY. And we all have it. Maybe your policy is to eat whatever you want to, well then you probably have another policy that says you have to be in the gym at least x days per week. What I'm saying is that Alex is full of s__t. He probably has more policies than any of us.
Watching a master craftsman perform is one of life's greatest gifts -------thanks, Alex
"The way that you feel is your subconscious mind, which can process information faster and vaster..." than your conscious mind, which compresses information into words and images. THAT was a golden segment.
This one could break the internet, the two of you i watch avidly and to see him them together made me giddy
Absolutely incredible episode. Thank you both for having this conversation. This content is immensely valuable.
Now start putting it in practice.
I admire how Alex isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Especially, the part when he said that 99% of the viewers doesn’t think like Tom does but yet he’s pushing this agenda like they should when the opposite way of doing it just as fine too.
Well considering that Tom looks anorexic it isn’t that shocking lol. I used to have a roommate that u can leave a cake in the fridge for a month and he wouldn’t touch it. Just not that interested in food really
@@Freshprankstv1wtf Tom doesn't look anorexic at all, he looks really healthy. Don't go around insulting ppl for no reason...
Thanks Tom! I love that this is 3 hours long. I remember when your talks were only 50 minutes and it felt too short. THanks!
Unless a you live it, you'll have wasted your time listening!
Very cool to hear someone come at these topics from a behavioral lens and make them so accessible! Love Alex :-)
Thanks Tom & Impact Theory! Some of these videos are quite literary continuing education at the collegiate level!
One of the best podcast discussions I've heard this year! It unlocked some big stuff for me.
Lots of notes taken.
🔥 🔥🔥🔥
I resonate deeply with Alex Hormozi's perspectives shared in this video . In my view "Character" holds paramount importance for all individuals. As the adage goes, "If money is lost, nothing is lost; if health is lost, something is lost; but if character is lost, everything is lost." It's a poignant reminder of the invaluable essence of integrity and moral strength in navigating life's journey. Take care, and here's to wishing everyone a fulfilling and joyous existence filled with happiness and purpose
YES, definition of what things means! I sometimes don’t get it, like raise your standards. I know it is simple ( now I get it) but initially I was like “ what does that mean ,how do I raise my standards “
Nice episode, I LOVE it , and I love all your episode. THANK YOU TOM!!
Can’t get enough of Alex’s interviews/podcast. Always get so much value out of each episode. Also I finally subscribed after watching like 5-6 podcasts from your channel.
Don't just listen, try living it.
@@ttii9 I’m applying everything I learned from his books to my photography business I’m starting.
Love to hear it! Alex is wonderful.

Wow the anxiety part was gold for me, thank you Alex thats 100% true most of my feeling are because i had so many paths in front of me i just didint know which one to take
I’m going to say that attitude and perspective is so important but health and wellbeing and nutrition is really important and you have to have a work ethic.
Hey Alex,
Love the behaviorism phase you’re going through. I had one when I studied Skinner and Watson at the university.
Emotions help consolidate memories. Thus, feeling “good” or “bad” actually helps and it’s associated with the learning process, and thus, the likelihood of repeating (or not) the behavior in the future.
Btw, love the whole vibe = bunch of behaviors difficult to describe. In many occasions vague language is just a heuristic for an accumulation of elements. A manner of speak.
Keep on rolling!!!
I love the way Alex thinks. He is able to break down completely ideas and philosophy into simple and easy to actions
Easy actions only for the young. The older one gets frailty prevents us living to our desired standards. Reality!
We're stoked you appreciated the conversation!
Alex is incredibly smart and we're happy to have him on the show.
Best,

Amazing Interview Thank you for being a blessing!
Two of my favorite people. Thanks for providing value
Tom is much better at holding a podcast and asking great questions with Alex than other podcasters he has been a guest, and I probably watched them all... Looking forward to the 3rd pod next year
I think it’s bc they’re meeting as relative equals. Tom 1) actually has things to share w success to back them up and 2) feels justified contrasting his perspective with Alex’s. Usually, hormozi will get on a pod w the interviewer just fawning over him for an hour (and justifiably so) w/out adding much bc he’s just not on that level.
chris williamson was also good
Tom is what entropy is all about. In the name of knowledge, organization… it’s actually disruptive and actually shows how non-secular he is or insecure, however you want to phrase it. Tom and his relentless pursuit of knowledge, detail and all that a thing can consist of is impressive right? Because he is successful right? Wrong. More doesn’t always mean better. Here's the thing-when we dive too deep into organizing every bit of information, life gets overly complicated. It's like overeating, but in our minds. We end up craving more and more knowledge, mentally becoming overweight. It’s knowledge gluttony sort of like how the depressed eat. You can tell how uncomfortable he was trying to maintain comfort.
Nature's wisdom lies in simplicity, where chaos and order coexist harmoniously. But our thirst for knowledge sometimes makes us lose touch with this natural flow. Instead of being in sync with the universe and focusing on productivity, we become collectors of labels and information.
Alex is clearly simple, effective with far less disorganization in the name of its opposite. Keeping it simple and embracing the unity within diversity is the key. It's about finding balance between chaos and order, just like nature does, being effective, knowing that not knowing if or why. The universe doesn’t care why it just does and just is. Great lesson here indeed.
Well said
Universe doesn't care? Is it inanimate? What meanest thou?
@@ttii9 you know the universe is in a constant state of flow. Harmony over resistance it’s really that simple. And it is animate and animate doesn’t mean in the analysis of its resistance, animate is evolving and expanding out of the state it is in and as. Breath out and you’ll see what that state is… Alex is the exhale Tom is the inhale.
@@Chatgptpluginsreview Existence of God is a fact!
@@ttii9 Existance of God? Define God… I say that knowing, not being smart but please, define God, or can one even define such a thing?
This was one of the best conversations I've witnessed online.
He just crushed toms whole life when he nailed into not having a routine or RULES 😂😅❤
I think the biggest problem is that the market is oversaturated with products and services that it's nearly impossible to compete and/or get started with something. I believe some people are scared to fail but for me it's a problem of figuring out what to sell.
I dunno, honestly I run into crappy products and problems without good tools all the time. If you could design and manufacture superior stuff, there definitely is opportunity.
Find a friend with a house for example who does all their DIY work. There are a lot of things which are time consuming and inventions could improve it.
Confidence without evidence is Delusion!!! THANK YOU ALEX & TOM. ❤️🔥💪🫶
Wow. My favorite podcast from them both. I'll listen to this many times.
❤❤❤ what a great podcast. The right questions answered. I love way Tom slowed things down so that we could follow Alex's thought process. Alex I salute you for giving so much first... that 17 year old in his bedroom , now armed with knowledge to craft a business for his family and community I resonate with. That impact is infinitely more impactful than the £50m you would have made on the offer event. 1 to zero is as you say mathematically infinite ❤
Thanks for sharing ❤
1:29:00 I agree nothing matters until you put some action in in the real world but there’s two ways to look at it. When focusing on what you believe (toms approach) and change how you view the world and view yourself, you will find that your actions naturally align with those beliefs. Therefore changing your conception of self and what you believe can produce the actions necessary to reach your goals in a way that you don’t have to consciously devise. It’s easier for me personally and there’s less resistance.
Alex has a more direct approach by simply going straight to changing his actions but I think he has a unique way of disassociating with his behaviors. Maybe I’m interpreting it wrong but when I try to change my actions without changing my beliefs I always end up in a cycle it’s like I’m fighting my own nature. It seems like he’s able to say fuck all that and simply change. I think he has a more logical and no nonsense mind. He’s so self aware that he can go straight to the root and attack the problem directly while someone like me would have to change how we think and then our actions naturally change as a byproduct.
I love these convos man
Alex is the algorithm that would turn us all into robots.
Is nose gear needed for life success?
Yes! It always has been and always will be.
Mannn!!!! What a good conversation! I’l have to rewatch this! Amazing!!!
I like the part about the fact that "why" doesn't matter. All that matters is what works or doesn't work. It's a brilliant way of simplifying your decision making process .
yeah tom is the complete anomoly.
the key to change for 99.99999999999% of people is to make conscious changes to your environment while you are in a point of strength and complete awareness and complete self control so that your environment will encourage your desired behavior choices when you are in a point of weakness, lack of awareness, and lack of self control.
my hypothesis here regarding tom's assertion that he will follow his rules regardless of his environment is that either he is lieing to himself (and us), or has never been in a position of weakness in an environment that encourages behavior he doesn't want to engage in.
the key strategy for success in life is to shape an environment that will lead to the success you want. this is an incremental shift of your environment to become more and more a reflection and an enforcement of who you desire to be as a person. in otherwords shape the mirrior that you want to see yourself in, and be shaped by the reflection you see.
Life's too short for people pleaing.
Well said
as far as words meaning different things to different people, in this podcast you both refer success to work, one of you with rules to guide you there and the other without... why is success always related to money and work? If I go to work today and make $10,000.00, and tomorrow I get fired and make $0.00 I am regarded as unsuccessful. Why are money and work the things associated with success and not being a leader by being someone whom walks the earth using the items they have at hand and showing love and gratitude and giving to others in need even if they need.
Good question!
Live with primitive tribes away from cities. Civilisation will have a whole new meaning. Moreover, you will learn the essential elements of living a simpler life whilst being content.
This is the best podcast I’ve listened to IN MY LIFE, I’ve been a fan of Alex Hormozi for a couple of years now, but I know for a fact this podcast has fundamentally changed my life for the better in a massive way. WOW
One of the greatest minds of our time. And I am FULL of gratitude for coming across his existence, because it has only made my own brighter.
For salary earners having a passive source of income is the best thing you could have , because aside the the fact that it isn’t always enough you could lose your job any day at any time , have something to fall back to is crucial , for me it is trading the Crypto and Stock market and no I didn’t have that much knowledge to begin to earn that’s why I said passive income, I leave the profit making to the pro like my Advisor ' Nolan Velden Brent ' who has been doing a wonderful job.
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor ?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement.
I’ve actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I’ve been seeing in the market hasn’t been so encouraging. who’s the person guiding you?
I loved this behavioral conversation. And the processes.
All people ever do is watch these videos where guys yammer on and make MASSIVE cash for all the views, talking about the same things with the same guests in perpetuity.... You're never gonna get wealthy sitting here watching interviews all day....
Awww the safety blanket of cynicism….
Its so sad, the disaffected youth of lost boys...
Profile photo / name explains what colored lens you view all things thru
Here you are lol
4 mins in and wondering like hell and reading through comments, but, what's up with that thing on his nose!
I wonder why Alex hasn't touched Joe Rogan Experience yet.
because hhe's business, and joe talks about everything but business
@@ItsameAlex Maybe in the near future, cause ALEX is in business but also in philosophy, psychology, fitness etc.
This is such a great interview, thanks to you both
THE most profound video. A must for every person, family, and business.
We've taken very simple things and made them so complicated that's what this conversation is.
Dont base your self esteem on what you do.
So much value in this episode 🙏🏼
Rewatched this one and got a ton of value. Thank you
its not all about $$$..life is always about balance. This society is teaching us to chase $$, its very sad
hey man, you don't know what life is about, what are you talking about? you have no idea what life is about. you're just a simple human, how can you speak on the behalf of the other 8 billion people that are alive? if you want to live a balanced life, cool, but don't push it on others like it's a rule
I have to disagree, if anything it’s teaching us to chase a dream, literally the American Dream.
Money is simply a reflection of value in the market place.
If you make millions in minutes, is that worst than being broke workin 70 hours a week?
Agree 💯 I had a millionaire bf and I dumped him. It's not the thing I find attractive, in my life or when looking for a partner
